Blanca, I have never used these tires, but give them a try. Compare them to another tire and see what works best in Baja. Some more expensive tires
may shred, or tear so this tire may work great. Watch the tire pressure on each ride, about 35 pounds. Flats are more common on the rear, along with
tire wear. Keep us posted, good luck, Ron

hey
there are many types of racing, many types of tires
http://wtb.com/pdf/catalogs/wtb_2009_catalog.pdf
wtb north america lists tire uses on their site
tec support - catalog archive - wtb 2009 archive
they have heavy prowlers for crashing down hills and light prowlers for cross country racing
universal cycles web page has info on tire weight etc
http://www.universalcycles.com/
best prices are whole sale. If you are buying parts for 35 bicycles open a wholesale account
http://cyclonebicycle.com/
http://www.seattlebikesupply.com/
http://www.qbp.com/
vaccounts, prices are 30% - 50% less than retail. qbp is the biggest, with 160 million in annual sales, they refused our account, try the other 2
first.
A bike coop is basically an all volunteer organization. members pay a small fee for stand time, or work trade. Many people donate tools and old bike
parts. The guy that knows how to build wheels volunteers his time and shows many people how to build wheels. the guy that knows how to fix etc etc...
in the end everyone can maintain their own bike. having all those tools available to the public is wonderful.
there are many bike coops in the us and Canada.
Could be just the thing to help the young folks.
give a man a fish you feed him for a day
teach a man to fish you feed him for life
same with bike wheels.
give a boy a wheel he pedals for months
teach a boy to build a wheel he pedals until a beer for breakfast gringo wants to pass in his motor home

thanks all for your help !!!!!!!!! Now I feel better about tires/tubes.
we still need mini bike pumps (15) for each kid and they run $7.93 at REI if someone wants to sponsor 1 kid, pls U2U me and lets get them shipped to
san diego. One more need is the bottle cage for about 10 bikes - they are also on REI at the killer price of $3.43 each - can anyone help with a
couple of these ???? We have a great guy who gets us the bottles, all we really need are the cages.
We have a volunteer HOMAR who heads up one bike club in Guerrero Negro. He is a bike expert who is just fantastic and will be coming this month to La
Bocana to work on our 35 bikes so that I know what parts are needed to keep the bikes we have in great condition !!!!! In exchange, I will donate one
nice bike and parts to his club
